Whodunnit?

I watched and I'm sorry to say that I hated it and won't watch again.

It seemed so staged and forced- plus I didn't care for any of the contestants. They felt more like actors than actual reality contestants.

Why were they so afraid they were going to "die" or keep saying, "I hope I'm not the next one to be killed?" They did realize that they weren't ACTUALLY going to die, right? The first contestant wasn't actually killed? The body in the morgue was ALIVE?

And after each person is "killed" they are forced to get into make up and be in the morgue for everyone to poke and prod?

I like the idea of a murder mystery reality show, but think the contestants shouldn't be part of the deaths. It should be the maids/butler/hosts/guests (all actors) who should be killed off each week as they try to mingle with the actors and gain info from them to figure out what is going on.

Each actor would be told a little more info they could divulge each week until only the top three remained.

The execution of this show was just so sloppy!

Whizzer.....did you watch The Mole....this is being produced by the same folks.......it's very molish.......

There was a clue at the beginning of the episode as to the identity of the killer. During the champagne party in the foyer.

that's what made it good. Dontae's Inferno = priceless. C'mon admit it!

This sounds awful.

Besides being CLUE on TV, what else is there?

I do love me that mystery dinner episode of Golden Girls, though.

Pammy, I like you, but you're driving a hard bargin! :)

The contestants all acted like they didn't know what kind of game they were going to be playing, but didn't they have to be informed that when they were eliminated they would potentially have to act out a murder scene and then play a dead corpse in the morgue?

I wondered how many times they had to reshoot because the victim burst into laughter while flopping around in front of the fish tank or being felt up at the morgue. If she wasn't a professional actor and just an ordinary person I bet some of those scene would be hard to pull off.

I know that obviously it was stunt double for Donte in the pool, but he still have to be in the morgue next episode! I don't know...I like my reality shows with contestants who acknowledge they are competing on a game and are aware of the manipulations of the producers, etc. (Survivor, Big Brother, Amazing Race)

I liked it also. Yeah, it was cheesy as hell and over the top, but that's the fun of a summer show.

I was wondering about the victims having to play dead in the morgue also - that seems a little strange.

I'm also thinking Don is the killer. He's an ex-cop - he would know how to make that fairly difficult shot with the slingshot into Sherri's neck. Also, wasn't he the last one out before Dontae came out on fire?

Murder in Small Town X was more effective.

jason, As I understood it, we aren't to believe that the killer took the shot. I mean the contestant who "died" didn't actually die (or get hit in the back of the neck with a musket pellet). I assume when she was chosen as the first to die the producers helped her set the scene of her "death" and then she had to shoot some B footage her getting the shower, seeing the message in the mirror, etc.

I assume once it is chosen who the next victim will be that person is notified by the producers that they are eliminated and they will have to perform the next death scene and act as a body in the morgue. Plus all the other contestants must act as if they are witnessing ACTUAL murders and not staged events. This is what makes me believe that they are all actors and not "real" people. That's an awful lot of acting to demand of the cast.

Adriana is not acting like the rest of them- in fact she is the only one IMO who is not acting like an actor.

Can't wait for BB!!!

Stockard, As much as I'm complaining about now, after this discussion I haven't been able to stop thinking about it and will probably end up watching the next episode!

---

Haha, well if I've put this much time and energy into analyzing the damn thing how could I stop now!

---

LOL, what about Baby Zingbot?
